Show 1142 Tuesday 19 January
Hi, I'm Sarah. Welcome to The Daily English Show.
Today we’re studying a short scene from the movie The Hangover.
This is one of the movies that I saw on the ferry a couple of weeks ago. And the parts I saw were pretty funny. I missed the start and I couldn’t hear the quiet parts because I wasn’t sitting close enough to the speakers.
And this movie just won an award at the Golden Globes.
It won: Best Motion Picture - Comedy Or Musical.
The movie’s about four guys who go to Las Vegas for a bachelor party and they wake up the next morning and they don’t remember anything about the night before … but there’s evidence that they’ve had a pretty crazy night. And as the story continues, they slowly find out what happened the night before.
The scene we’re studying today is in the trailer and it’s from the start of the movie.
One of the guys has a girlfriend who is quite controlling and she’s not happy about him going to the bachelor party in Las Vegas.
She says: Boys and their bachelor parties, it’s gross.
Having been a bartender, I think I agree with her, too.
And she says: I just wish your friends were as mature as you.
And he says: They are mature, actually, you just have to get to know them better.
And then a message comes through … on some kind of intercom, I think. And the message is not exactly a good illustration of maturity.
His friend says: Paging Doctor Douchebag!

Today’s word is gross.
Gross is an informal word which means very unpleasant, or repulsive.
The woman in today’s conversation says that “boys and their bachelor parties” are gross.
